But what about making a pill? I couldn't see many doctors suggesting that their patients inhale smoke of any kind. I see this medical marijuana as a way to make recreational use more acceptable and possibly legal.
It seems to me that if the effects of marijuana were really that good, drug companies would be falling all over themselves to create a pill using the active ingredient(s). I know it is possible to get a license to produce marijuana for scientific studies. -----Original Message----- From: G [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, November 29, 2004 1:01 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: Medical Marijuana( Bush cannot be a republican) I can't cite any legit studies by any legit studies, but I think it's pretty clear that marijuana's primary adverse health issues require extended use over an extended period of time. Similar to cigarettes or alcohol. One cigarette won't give you lung cancer, one joint won't give you brain damage. Another consideration. Different people have different reactions to different drugs. Morphine works great as a pain killer in an awful lot of situations....but has no pain alleviating affect on me, and makes me nauseous. If certain patients are found to respond most favorably to marijuana, over a relatively short amount of time (or extended time if the condition is terminal anyway), then why shouldn't a competent doctor be at his discretion to prescribe it? That being said, I doubt many competent doctors would find many occasions on which they'd prescribe marijuana. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Special thanks to the CF Community Suite Gold Sponsor - CFHosting.net http://www.cfhosting.net Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:138025 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
